Notes from swingphonics, labor day 2001

Rye and Shira:
Cross hand into 8-wheel
(right hand on hip - back circle)
1,2, rock, step,
down on 3
4 and (rockstep)
5 hand over head
6-7,8 out from closed

Kevin and Maggie
Grip- paw not claw, keep thumb next to hand.
On compression, lead bend wrist back to push with skeleton.

Exercise:
follower with arms sort of up and bent
Lead cups hand behind elbow, rotates back and forth
this is a lead follow
Lead will then cross hand over to catch, absorb energy, like catching a water balloon.

Move 1
on 1 & 2 pull in
pass from right hand to left
pass hand from right to left, lead with body
then left to right
then into a spin
(This is similar to the turnstile move I learned from Tip and Holly at Camp Jitterbug in Seattle.

Mover 2
pull across into compression
push back so follower spins 180 clockwise
pull follower forward
at last moment, spin follower anti-clockwise

David & Kim
Do spins with supporting leg bent
Spin on ball of foot
loose foot starts out and comes in (conservation of angular momentum)

Styling of foot steps, do like a marionette, lifting from knee, like a cat.

6-count from side "rollowt"
start like tuck turn but hook her into counter clockwise
2 and 3, leaders turn
"free inside turn"

shoulder roll on left
forearm to forearm
follow through to left
follower and leader turn anti-clockwise
